Speech Repair Strategies in Children with Typical and Atypical Phonological Development

Speech data from 36 children, including 24 with typical development and 12 with atypical development, were analyzed by Carolina Lisbôa Mezzomo. The study examined syllabic variants such as syllable omission, coda omission, epenthesis, metathesis, and coalescence during blocked syllable acquisition. Statistical analysis was performed using the VARBRUL program.

Use Cases

• Modeling phonological repair strategy usage based on variables like age and sex mentioned in the description.
• Comparing syllabic variant frequencies between typical and atypical speech development groups.
• Analyzing the influence of word position (e.g., final, post-stressed) on coda omission patterns.

Strengths

• Data covers 36 children across two distinct developmental groups.
• Analysis includes five specific syllabic variants: syllable omission, coda omission, epenthesis, metathesis, and coalescence.
• Statistical analysis was performed with a named program (VARBRUL).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
